600-home development to proceeed at Saggart
The 600-home development in Saggart will proceed and a €2.1m payment was “omitted” after An Comisiún Pleanála granted permission following an appeal.
The 611-home large-scale residential development located at Boherboy will move forward after permission was granted with revised conditions after residents appealed the decision in February.
The developers also appealled Condition 30 of the granted development, which had ordered them to pay over €2.1 million to the planning authority in lieu of public open space provision, towards the cost of amenity works in the area of the proposed development.
This was “omitted” but the €534.6k expected to be paid to deliver a new community centre remains, as well as other contributions towards the likes of public infrastructure.
The developers had described the initially requested eight-figure sum as “an unreasonable and disproportionate burden.”
The appeal put forward by residents had discussed access, parking and public transport.
More amenities were noted to be noted in an appeal from Citywest Community Council, including schools, health services and issues surrounding “overdevelopment” in the area were also stated.
